Polish is a Western Slavonic language with about 40 million speakers in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus. There are also large communities of Polish emigrants in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland. Despite the past attempts of various occupying administrations in Poland to suppress the language, it is now the most-spoken of the entire West Slavic group.
